#WinTheOffice: Brady shines again

Are Boston sports fans breathing today, or did they know Tommy Terrific and later, the Red Sox, had it all along? The Patriots’ remarkable drive in the final minutes of their win over the Saints is what will be remembered from the game. It hardly tells the whole story of the game.

The Saints’ defense spent most of the game putting Brady on the ground. He was sacked five times. Brady engineered the final drive after taking so many hits. His numbers weren’t impressive — he went 25 for 43 for 269 yards — but when taking into account the five sacks, Brady’s performance late in the game was downright astounding.

He is 36. How many more times can Brady have games like this one? How many times can he be hit, and still come up with a brilliant drive? It’s his ability to continue that makes Brady — whether you love him or hate him — so very watchable.

Week 6 is almost over. Here’s what you need to know to win the office from the rest of Sunday’s games.
